The '''Rebellion Refreshed and Reloaded Ultimate Package''' is a 2007 community package for ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]'' that modernizes the game's executable and lets the standard game and the Reloaded mod be installed side by side on Windows XP x64 and Windows Vista. The readme names its author as Budious.<ref name="r86" /><ref name="r64" />

== Package versions ==
The readme files describe the release as "Beta 1" and are dated July 8, 2007.<ref name="r86" /> The archive in the SWR download folder is named "Reb_Refresh_Package_Beta1.2 with vcl30 added by Ant", which suggests a later revision with an added vcl30 file; the readme files do not mention that change.<ref name="zip" /> The readme's own stated purpose is to allow the two installations to coexist, with support for Windows Vista x86/x64 and Windows XP x64.<ref name="r86" />

== Rebellion Refresh features ==
The "Rebellion Refresh" part of the package changes <code>REBEXE.EXE</code> as follows:<ref name="r86" />
* A new 48×48, 32-bit icon for Windows XP and newer systems, credited to Mad78.
* Performance changes that let the executable read its DLL and MDATA files from the installation folder.
* An application manifest for Vista's User Account Control.
* A version label of 1.02, although it was built on version 1.00 for stability.

The same wording appears in the notes of the [[Rebellion Fix]] package, whose <code>REBEXE.EXE</code> is labelled 1.02 on the same basis.<ref name="fix" />

== Rebellion Reloaded features ==
The "Rebellion Reloaded" part applies the same icon, loading, and manifest changes to <code>RELOADED.EXE</code>, with an icon credited to Budious. This executable uses its own registry branch under <code>Software/LucasArts/Star Wars Reloaded</code> (the readme writes the hive as HKLU) and is labelled version 2.00, again built on 1.00.<ref name="r86" /> The readme thanks the Rebellion Reloaded team for their [[total conversion]].<ref name="r86" />

== Installation notes ==
The readme says this release only provides a framework of technical modifications. A standalone installer for XP x64 and Vista x64 is listed as a future feature, and the status section says the package works on the author's own machines and needs extensive testing.<ref name="r86" />
* '''x86 users''' install the game from disc, add the Reloaded total conversion beta following its own readme, rename the install folder to "Star Wars Reloaded", merge <code>Reloaded_x86.reg</code>, and swap <code>REBEXE.EXE</code> for <code>RELOADED.EXE</code> there. The game is then reinstalled from the disc at maximum size, the disc's MDATA folder and DLL files are copied in, and the patched <code>REBEXE.EXE</code> replaces the original. On Vista, <code>d3drm.dll</code> is copied to both folders.<ref name="r86" />
* '''x64 users''' follow a similar order but place both games under <code>Program Files (x86)</code> and merge <code>Reloaded_x64.reg</code> and <code>Rebellion_x64.reg</code>.<ref name="r64" />
* '''CHANGES.txt''' lists the manual full-disk steps: point the <code>DllLocation</code> and <code>TooBigLocation</code> registry values at the install folder, copy the disc's Rebellion folder there, create a <code>SaveGame</code> folder, remove a 1.00 or 1.01 <code>REBEXE.EXE</code>, and move the 1.02 one in.<ref name="changes" />

== Archive contents ==
The archive's file list shows the following parts:<ref name="zip" />
* <code>Rebellion 1.02\REBEXE.EXE</code> and <code>Reloaded 2.00\RELOADED.EXE</code>, plus a copy of <code>d3drm.dll</code>.
* Registry files for each setup: <code>Rebellion_x86.reg</code>, <code>Rebellion_x64.reg</code>, <code>Reloaded_x86.reg</code>, <code>Reloaded_x64.reg</code> and <code>Original_x86.reg</code>.
* Two editor folders, described below.

=== ReloadED and unpacked RebEd ===
'''ReloadED 0.26r''' (build 001, July 10, 2007) is a modified copy of [[RebEd]] 0.26 that edits the Reloaded mod. It requires Reloaded to sit in <code>C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Reloaded</code> with the matching Reloaded registry file merged. Its readme says its limits are unknown and that its functions are assumed equal to RebEd 0.26, and that it was to be folded into later package releases.<ref name="reload" /> The '''RebEd_0.26_unpacked''' folder holds RebEd 0.26 with its original Delphi compression removed. The readme says the compressed file was smaller but could not be hex-edited, whereas the unpacked file can, and it was the base for ReloadED.<ref name="unp" /> Both folders include a <code>DllEntries.txt</code> file (see [[DLLEntries.txt]]).<ref name="zip" />
